Heat Engines

3.7K
A heat engine is a device used to extract heat from a source and then convert it into mechanical work used for various applications. For example, a steam engine on an old-style train can produce the work needed for driving the train.
Whenever we consider heat engines (and associated devices such as refrigerators and heat pumps), we do not use the standard sign convention for heat and work. For convenience, we assume that the symbols Qh, Qc, and W represent only the amounts of heat transferred...

Internal Combustion Engine01:20

Internal Combustion Engine

2.8K
The internal combustion engine is a heat engine that uses the byproducts of combustion as the working fluid instead of using a heat transfer medium to transfer heat. The combustion is done in a way that produces high-pressure combustion products that can be expanded through a turbine or piston to create work. Internal combustion engines can again be categorized into three kinds: (1) spark ignition gasoline engines, most commonly used in automobiles, (2) compression ignition diesel engines that...

Tissues

Cells with similar structure and function are grouped into tissues. A group of tissues with a specialized function is called an organ. There are four main types of tissue in vertebrates: epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous.

Tissues

70.2K
Tissues are a group of cells that share a common embryonic origin. Microscopic observation reveals that the cells in a tissue share morphological features and are arranged in an orderly pattern to perform specific functions. From an evolutionary perspective, tissues appear in more complex organisms. Although there are many types of cells in the human body, they are organized into four broad categories of tissues: epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous. Each of these categories is...

Plant Cells and Tissues

66.0K
Plant tissues are collections of similar cells performing related functions. Different plant tissues will have their own specialized roles and can be combined with other tissues to form organs such as flowers, fruit, stem, and leaves. Two major types of plant tissue include meristematic and permanent tissue.

Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Science
  • Tissue Engineering
  • Stem Cell Biology

Background:

  • Soft tissue defects require innovative regenerative therapies.
  • In vitro-generated tissues offer potential solutions for reconstruction.
  • Biomaterial scaffolds are crucial for guiding tissue regeneration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate methacrylated gelatin/hyaluronan hydrogels as scaffolds for soft tissue engineering.
  • To assess the interaction of human adipose-derived stem cells (hASCs) with these composite hydrogels.
  • To determine the angiogenic potential of the developed scaffolds.

Main Methods:

  • Incorporation of hASCs into methacrylated gelatin/hyaluronan hydrogels.
  • Photocrosslinking of hydrogels using a specific photoinitiator.
  • Analysis of cell viability, proliferation, and adipogenic differentiation over 30 days.
  • Assessment of angiogenic potential via an angiogenesis assay.

Main Results:

  • hASCs exhibited enhanced viability on composite hydrogels within 24 hours, sustained over 21 days.
  • Adipogenic differentiation was observed after 7 days, with significant increases in mature adipocytes by day 28.
  • Expression of key adipogenic markers (fatty acid binding protein 4 and adiponectin) increased significantly.

Conclusions:

  • Methacrylated gelatin/hyaluronan composite hydrogels show promise as building blocks for adipose tissue engineering.
  • These scaffolds support long-term viability, proliferation, and differentiation of hASCs.
  • The developed scaffolds possess potential for regenerative applications in soft tissue defects.
